Here's my setup.
AMD 64 X2 4200+
ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe
2 GB Kingston Hyper-X memory
BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC
Seagate 120 GB - dual boot Windows XP SP2 and Ubuntu
Seagate 160 GB - storage drive NTFS mount
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm
1x CD-RW/DVD-RW drive
2x 120 mm fans (front and rear)
OCZ 700W PSU
ANTEC P160 Case
Here's my issue:
Recently, I RMA'd my video card with BFG and they sent me a brand spanking new 6800 GT OC which was working ok until about two weeks ago. Also, I upgraded my PSU to a 700w OCZ with dual 12v rails.
Now, whenever I power on the computer, the red light (indicating that the card is getting power) flashes briefly and then goes out. The card is not getting any power. The fan on the card does not spin.
Two weeks ago I was able to simply power off and power back on a couple minutes later and the card would start receiving power. Now it doesn't.
I tried the other 12v rail (PCIe2) with no luck either. Also, I've reseated the card in both PCie slots with no luck.
I've also tried a WinFast 6200 LE I had lying around and a BFG 7600 GT I borrowed from a friend that both work perfectly (however, neither require a 12v rail).
I swapped back to my older power supply and was still experiencing the same problem. I want to chock this up to a faulty motherboard, but this seems to be more of a video card related problem.
FYI: whenever the 6800 GT boots the motherboard POSTS: "System failed VGA test".
Any ideas?
